    SnMrsSmiley replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    nursing isnt easy no matter where you go to school to learn. All the schools near me are extremely competitive. I waited 3 years to get in with a 4.0 GPA and a 27 ACT. I also had great Teas test...

    SnMrsSmiley replied to JLWilliams11's topic in General Students

  10. "friend" of patient asks to see him

    SnMrsSmiley replied to Kiddo87's topic in General Students

    yes that list is what i was referring to! but there is a word for a patient that doesnt want to be on the list at all.... and for the life of me i cant remember it

  11. "friend" of patient asks to see him

    SnMrsSmiley replied to Kiddo87's topic in General Students

    aha i didnt point out a very important step in my first post. It is a violation of HIPPA if the patient has requested to not be named as a current patient. Its a no fly zone of sorts. I cant remember...

  12. "friend" of patient asks to see him

    SnMrsSmiley replied to Kiddo87's topic in General Students

  14. Calling a Patient 'Sugar': Abuse?

    SnMrsSmiley replied to Trancelation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  16. Is this in our scope of practice?

    SnMrsSmiley replied to klmb318's topic in General Nursing

    SnMrsSmiley replied to Kiddo87's topic in General Students

    SnMrsSmiley replied to mamayogibear's topic in General Students
